Okanagan launches student-led Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy clinic

Okanagan College has launched its first student-led Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy clinic. The clinic was spearheaded by Okanagan Instructor Dr Brett Wade after the college faced challenges securing placements for students in the Therapist Assistant Diploma program. Wade said that the clinic ran for five weeks, providing students with hands-on experiences and personalized learning while offering Okanagan staff and students free therapy services. “We’re already planning to run the clinic again next year, and with more preparation time, we’re motivated to take what we’ve learned and expand on it,” said Wade.
